Description
Antique early 19th century English Georgian botanical watercolor painting of a blue and pink dog rose, framed, signed and dated in the lower right. Circa 1825.
The dog rose is a deciduous shrub normally ranging in height from 1–5 metres (3.3–16.4 ft), though sometimes it can scramble higher into the crowns of taller trees. Its stems are covered with small, sharp, hooked prickles, which aid it in climbing. The leaves are pinnate, with 5–7 leaflets. Leaves have a delicious fragrance, when bruised.
The dog rose blooms from June to July, with sweet scented flowers which are usually pale pink, but can vary between a deep pink and white. They are 4–6 centimetres (1.6–2.4 in) in diameter with five petals. As other roses it has a quintuscial aestivation. Unusually though of its five sepals, when viewed from underneath two are whiskered on both sides, two are quite smooth and one is whiskered (or bearded) on one side only. Flowers mature into an oval, 1.5–2-centimetre (0.59–0.79 in), red-orange hip
